No one said it was better, it's just an alternative.
My guide is very similar to the guide in the wiki, which I guess is the "official" guide. For awhile the wiki guide was broken while mine still worked.
I created this guide when there was no official xbmc minimal linux install guide. When the guide in the wiki was created, it was very similar to mine, with the exception of some custom tweaks to make it more like XBMC live.
This guide is designed to run xbmc and only xbmc, of course if you want to do other things with it, be my guest. One of the best parts of running xbmc on linux is customizing it to what you want.
And yes, a minimal install is faster then a full desktop install.
